    Where did I say anything about American suspension? I put a German suspension on my last Chevy truck, but that was many years ago. I don’t agree that European suspensions are universally better though. Generally European cars have tighter high performance suspensions in their cars because they don’t drive on rough dirt roads like many cars in the US are subjected to.

    When it comes to suspensions for really extreme conditions, I think American tech has the lead right now. The European continent lacks things like the Baja 1000 or the Rubicon trail or the thousand similar routes that we have all over the hilly and mountainous regions of North America.

      Listen dude, people are just having beef with your claim that “american trucks are great to drive” which is clearly not everyone’s relative experience. I admit that american cars made huge strides in the last couple of decades but they’re still mostly a niche meme everywhere else around the world.

      We generally solved ICE cars somehwere in 00’s so whatever local variant fits your need is 100% the best choice. I drive a Japanese ICE car from 2010 and recently looked at upgrades and really couldn’t find a single reason for an upgrade other than aesthethics.
